Before tuning the brake system and installing disc brakes on the rear axle of a VAZ car, each car owner must remember that making such changes to the design of the car entails a violation of the "Rules of the road". Consequently, the presence of self-installed devices on the car, not provided by the manufacturer, gives rise to any traffic inspector to impose an administrative penalty.
It is necessary
- - brake conversion kit,
- - a set of locksmith tools.
Instructions
Step 1
The pioneers in modernizing the braking system of domestically produced cars were motor sportsmen, who replaced the standard brake drums of the rear axle of cars of the "eighth" model with discs from "Oka".
Step 2
But the over-performance of the sports brakes proved unsuitable for day-to-day urban use. What prompted the inventors to search for a different technological solution to these problems.
Step 3
During the research, one curious detail emerged. It turns out that our Russian auto industry developed a disc brake system for VAZ 2112 cars. But, for some unknown reason, he refused to introduce them into production, and still continues to produce cars with rear drum brakes.
Step 4
However, the production of brake discs for the rear axle is nevertheless established in Russia, albeit in small batches, and brake system conversion kits are periodically available for sale.
Step 5
Installation of such kits on the rear axle is greatly simplified. All that is required from the master is to hang the rear of the machine on reliable supports and proceed to dismantle: wheels, brake drums and pads, support discs with brake cylinders and parking brake mechanisms.
Step 6
Having exposed the rear axle, all the elements from the rear axle brake conversion kit are installed on it one by one. In the instructions that come with the kit, everything is detailed point by point, and upgrading the brake system will not be a problem for most motorists.
Step 7
After re-equipment of the rear axle, it is necessary to bleed the hydraulic brake actuator. In order to remove air that has got there during the brake tuning process from it.
